Hatch time is here!

This doesn't look good.

Huh. He looks healthy and active, but that's a....wet bird.

EDIT: I'd have an eyedropper/syringe handy in case someone more knowledgeable than me says he needs assistance.

That is a lot of liquid. Where is your humidity sitting at right now?

50.
I just bumped up to 50 yesterday.
I've kept it lowish ( 30-35) through out.

I'm not yet going to do anything. I did just slightly rotate the egg so that the beak wasn't sticking straight up.
It is now slightly to the side.

I don't want problem hatches!

That’s a good idea. Kind of let it drain out so the chick doesn’t drown, but hopefully it’s just absorbing still.

I got another pip!

If baby starts weakening, I would consider chipping away just a little extra shell so you can get the nostril area more clear. I'm hoping this is just a weirdly wet membrane. Opposite problem of all of mine, so yay?

Unfortunately, most chicks I've had to intervene with have had other problems and didn't make it later anyways But I'm rooting for him and I'd consider it a fluke until evidence to the contrary.
